How big are you making your cake balls? Mine are about 1in or less in diameter.
It is NOT the same effort to make cake balls as cake.... there is no decoration. Maybe I am missing something.
2 cups of cake that I don't have to worry about looking nice, a couple of tbsp of p.s. and cocoa powder. Some nuts or chocolate pieces and a little creamer. Just throw in a mixer, scoop into balls.... I love how easy it is, so it isn't quite the same as making a cake.
PERSONALLY for the bite sized ones I make I would charge at most $4 a dozen.
Thanks for all the info, I know it's just left over scrap cake and I'm glad there is a recipe for using it. I used to throw it away if my son didn't eat it. I made german choc flavor out of yellow cake mixed with german choc cake a little coconut and pecans. I also made chocolate with rum and walnuts. They were decorated with tinted coconut and orange sugar. 75 cents to $1.00 sounds pretty fair.
Next question, how do I store them and how long do they keep?

I know when I made these, it took me over an hour (at least) from start to finish. Eventhough there is no decoration to these...it is still my time and labor to make them. I always price myself out for at least $10 per hour. A few years ago I was working part time and was making $12 per hour to sit at a desk!
Ultimately, it's up to each individual to decide what their time is worth to them...it took me awhile to finally realize how valuable my time is to me!! ![]()
The balls were about 1 1/2 inches, and they were dipped in chocolate. I also put them in the little gold candy cups. My husband said when he took them to work his co-workers told him they looked store bought. They also said they enjoyed them. I will take some to work with me tomorrow and put them to the test.
I store mine in the freezer. After I roll them I let them set out over night on a wire rack. The next morning I put them in a freezer bag and wrap with tin foil(2 times) Then put them in the freezer untill I need them. When I need them I take them out and dip. No need to thaw. As soon as the chocolate hardens they are thawed. Also being froze the chocolate hardens faster.
